Of Importance to Oattlemen.
It is of importance to cattlemen to know
that on the application or the Kit Carson cat
tle company Judge Dundy has appointed
Crust us D. Webster receiver of the Harlem
cattle company , tu take charge ol its property ,
personal ' ami real. His bond isfl.xed at $30,000.
The Kit Carson ei.mpany is a Texas organiza
tion. The Harlem company was incorporated
in Colorado , but lias ranches ami cattle in
Hitchcock and Chase count ies.Nebraska. The
complainant's bill alleges tli.it prior to Febru-
ary24.18S8. the defendants became indebted to
I1 In the sum of $9.1,015 oG for cattle , ami at var
ious times gave notes signed jointly by itself
and E. M. McGilien & Co. of Cleveland. O. The
j ;
defendant subsequently agreed to give a chat-
tlo ! mortgage , to be placed in Montana , but
changing its plans as to t no latter , it then gave
a mortgage on its property in Nebraska. That
property consisted ot a herd of Polled Angus
and a herd of Holstein , a herd of Hereford
cattle , all thoroughbreds , and numbering
about 1 lour hundred and fifty ; also , si.\ty head
of graded and common cattle , and a stock of
biooded and common horses. Omaha Herald.

Ruskin makesthofollowingobservation con
cerning a popular and pievalent evil : But
there is one way of wasting time , of all the
vilest , because it wastes , not time on'y , but
the interest and energy of your minds. Of all
tho ungentlemanly habits into which you can
Tall , the vilest is betting , or interesting your
selves in the interests of betting. It unites
nearly every condition of folly and vice ; you
concentrate your interest upon a matter of
chance , instead of uponasubjectot true knowo
ledge ; and you back opinions which jou have t-
grounds for forming , meiely because they
are j our own. All the insolence of egotism is o
this ; and so far as the love ofe.vcitementis ( .
complicated with the iiope ot w inning money ,
joti turn youiselves into the basest sort of
tradesmen those who live by speculation.
Were there no other ground for industry , this
ivould be a sullicient one ; that it protected
rou from the temptation of so scandalous a
rice. Work faithfully , and you will put your-
selves into possession of a gloiious and enlarg
ing ; happiness ; not such as can tie won by tho
peed or a horse , or mariied by the obliquity
a ball.
Badeau , has finally accepted thp first offer
nade by the Grant family to pay him ten thou-
and dollars for his'-ervices as amanuensis for P
3en. Grant at the time he was writing his m
nemoirs. In accepting this. Badeau re- 1
lounccs his claim to joint authorship and a
larticipation in the profits on the sale of the
look. The Grant family has always been
cady to pay the ten thousand dollars that the
r-Jiieral promised Badeau for his services ,
hough they say that Grant having become
liscati fled with him and discharged him. they
not equitably owe him the money. They
it as a matter of lienor so that nobody can
lave an excuse for going about accusing the
irunts of repudiating a cortiart made by the len
lead husband and father. This is the last
jrab that Bad' au can make out of the money
the Grants , who have supported him in one
vay or another since the close of the war.
lereafter he will have to live on what he has
jrubbed or work out his own salvation. The
Irants will no longer support him.

Heartrending Scenes

Pandemonium a Picnic ,
compared < to the commotion caused by
the | dazzling splendor of the Sovereign
Jewel base burner.
A Woman Burst
into tears and declared she would have
no I olher stove if she didn 't have a new
dress for a year.
One Woman Hung
about ; i ber husband's neck and besought
.
him to buy her a Sovereign Jewel for
a ; i Christmas present.
Another Woman Melted
into tears when she saw one going to
her ] neighbors , and one woman
Thought She'd Die
,
laughing for joy when she discovered i
that her husband had alteady secureu
one. But it was only a touch of hapJ '
py hysterics and she is now feeling bet
ter than ever before in her life.
